About Wotton Under Edge:

This charming Cotswold village boasts a finely restored 14th-15th century church which retains some good brasses and an old Organ case.

The Wotton Mosaic, which is a splendid copy of a Roman-British pavement found in a roman villa in nearby Woodchester, can be seen in the Rev. Rowland Hills Tabernacle. This mosaic depicts Orpheus charming the beasts with music from his lyre and covers some 2,000 sq.feet.

There are many attractions both in and around this bustling cotswold village and it is worth noting that Wooton-under-Edge hosts regular monthly antique auctions attended by dealers from many parts of the country. If antiques are an interest Wotton is certainly worth a visit.

Wotton-under-Edge is a market town within the Stroud district of Gloucestershire, England. Located near the southern end of the Cotswolds the Cotswold Way long-distance footpath passes through the town. Standing on the B4058 Wotton is about five miles from junction 14 of the M5 motorway. The nearest railway station is Cam and Dursley, seven miles away by road, on the Bristol to Birmingham line.

History
The first recorded appearance of the town as such is to be found in a Saxon Royal Charter of King Edmund of Wessex, who in A.D.940 leased four hides of land in Wudetun to the theign Edrick. The name Wudetun means the enclosure, homestead or village (tun) in or near the wood (wude). The "Edge" refers to the limestone escarpment of the Cotswold Edge which includes the hills of Wotton Hill and Tor Hill that flank the town.

The Mercian Church of St. Mary was established around 940 AD.

Kingswood Abbey was founded in 1139 but all that remains is a 16th century Cistercian gatehouse. Nearby historical buildings include the Tudor houses of Newark Park and Owlpen Manor. The medieval former public house The Ancient Ram Inn dates back to 1145.

St. Mary the Virgin was consecrated in 1283, remaining the oldest and largest church in the town.

The Katharine Lady Berkeley's Grammar School was established in 1384 and is now a comprehensive named Katharine Lady Berkeley's School although the present modern building is a little outside of the town on the way to the village of Kingswood.

Overlooking the town on the top of Wotton Hill are a collection of trees planted in the 19th century to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo. These are situated on the site that housed one of the early warning beacons used to warn England of the approach of the Spanish Armada in 1588.

A map of Wotton-under-Edge from 1946New Mills, founded in 1810, prospered by supplying both sides in the Napoleonic wars but after a century of decline the mill was near to closing in 1981 when it was acquired by Renishaw plc.

The town's corporation status was abolished in 1886 following the Municipal Corporations Act of 1883

The Wotton-under-Edge BT Tower formed part of the microwave communication network.

Facilities
In the 1950s[citation needed] local people built the town swimming pool with volunteers helping to run it. Subsequently the pool has had heating and roofing installed with the help of local groups.

In 2002, following the closure of the local cinema, a group of volunteers got together and raised funds for a refurbishment to become one of the first digital cinemas in the UK. It re-opened in 2005 as a 100 seat modern facility inside an old stable yard, once part of the Crown Inn which closed in 1911. Films were first shown in the old Banqueting Hall of the Inn and moved to the stable yard some years later, due to the popularity of films. The Wotton Electric Picture House (the original name) is now a thriving venue
